“I wanted to see if I can grab 20 minutes of your time for some advice,” RJ Jaramillo began.

“I would really love to get your input on SingleDad.com — and what the site means to you. I know you are busy, but if you can give me a few minutes of your time…”

As it turns out, his email wasn’t so random:

RJ had actually tried to contact me more than one year ago — but I hadn’t responded. When he nicely explained this to me, I was so sorry! (I try to respond to everyone. Really I do.) Sure, I’d chat with him on the phone.

He called, and within five minutes, I tried to ignore the fact that he had a really soothing, kind voice.

Stay professional, I told myself.

After all, he was clearly very focused, organized, and responsible. However, he’s also a Leo – and I swore I heard a flirt lurking in there!

That night, I checked out RJ’s Single Dad Diaries. I was hooked: three single dads who dish on everything from Miley Cyrus to holiday anxiety to dating post-divorce.

One thing led to another, and RJ and I were emailing: hey, how about Single Mom and Dad Diaries?

Being a Leo and all, RJ suggested that we get right to business. Get this: he suggested that he hop on a plane… next week!

Our plan is: we’ll each take a day off work to make a series of single mom and dad videos — for ALL of you.
